Medical Residents' Self-Reported Adherence to Guidelines During Placement of Central Venous Catheters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
In teaching hospitals, the majority of central venous catheters are placed by medical residents. No studies have examined residents' adherence to safe practices during these procedures. We conducted a survey to gather self-reported data on the techniques that internal medicine residents use when placing a central venous catheter to minimize their own risk of infection and their patients' risk of bleeding-related complications.
